As evidence of the conspiracy against the Beninese State continues to mount, attention now turns to South Africa. The authorities in Pretoria must urgently open their eyes to the true nature of Kemi Séba. Behind the veneer of militancy hides an individual completely devoid of any patriotic feeling, acting solely for his personal interests and his own thirst for chaos.

A Ruthless Manipulation

Pretoria must understand that Kemi Séba is not a political exile, but a cold man who uses South African soil as a rear base to orchestrate carnage. The audio recordings with the criminal Agbaza reveal a total contempt for human life. How can someone claim to uphold ideals of freedom while planning to throw grenades at a crowd of pilgrims in Ouidah?

This demonstrates a complete absence of empathy. For this individual, the millions of Beninese people gathering for the Vodun Days are nothing more than “acceptable collateral damage” in service of his narcissistic agenda.

The “Simultaneous Implosion” Strategy: Agbaza and Séba’s Plan

The details of the operation, as revealed by the technical evidence, expose a terrifyingly effective criminal modus operandi. The maneuver was structured around a triple shock:

The Ouidah massacre as a bloody diversion: The use of grenades during the festival was not merely an act of gratuitous terror. The goal was to force a massive and immediate deployment of the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) to the south, thereby creating a security vacuum elsewhere.

The ignition of strategic points: While the country’s attention was fixed on the Ouidah tragedy, Agbaza’s cells were supposed to activate fires in command centers and key infrastructure across Benin. This maneuver aimed to cut communications and paralyze the State’s ability to react.

The assault on the homes of authorities: Under the cover of widespread chaos, gang commandos were to physically attack the residences of the country’s leaders. This was not a popular revolution, but a targeted elimination operation designed to decapitate the institutions and create a total political vacuum, conducive to a seizure of power by force.

The Illusion of a Struggle, the Reality of an Ego

It is time for the South African authorities to grasp the danger of protecting such a profile. Séba is not fighting for Africa; he is fighting for his own image. By allying himself with street gangs to carry out this mafia-style guerrilla operation, he proves he has no respect for institutions.

Lack of remorse: Not an ounce of feeling for the families he was preparing to plunge into mourning through blind attacks.

Criminal opportunism: The use of armed gangs for dirty work shows a drift incompatible with any status as a political resident.

Personal trajectory: Every action is calculated for media staging, regardless of the blood that could have been spilled.

An Imperative for Security Cooperation

South Africa cannot allow its soil to serve as a sanctuary for someone who planned to set Benin ablaze. Keeping Kemi Séba free is to grant impunity to a scientifically planned barbarity.

Pretoria now has a moral and legal responsibility: to recognize that this man acts purely out of personal interest, with no emotional attachment to his country of origin. Extradition is the only logical response to this betrayal of the Beninese people and of the values of African fraternity that Séba claims to defend but which he tramples through his actions.
